Share a flight plan from ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or FlyQ — and it lands in your simulator's GPS in seconds. PlanToSim sends your EFB flight plans straight to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12, and the most popular add-on GPS navigators — complete with departures, arrivals, approaches, and airways. Plan on your iPad. Fly it on your PC. No file copying, no folder digging, no cables. WORKS WITH YOUR SIMULATOR • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 & 2024 — native .pln flight plans, delivered by the free PlanToSim MSFS Bridge • X-Plane 11 & 12 — native FMS flight plans, delivered by the free PlanToSim X-Plane plugin • TDS GTN Xi — native procedures (.gfp) • Reality-XP GTN 750/650 (.gfp) • Reality-XP GNS 530/430 (Garmin .fpl) • SimAVIO / FlyThisSim TouchTrainer (beta) — plans land in a GNS 530/430 flight-plan slot REAL PROCEDURES, INTACT • Full SID, STAR, and approach support — procedures arrive as procedures, not flattened waypoint strings • Waypoint-only files from ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot are matched against the navigation database to restore named procedures and airways (Rebuild Procedures — on by default, one toggle to turn off) • Runway-aware departure and arrival matching • Airway expansion (Victor, Jet, T- and Q-routes) • Cruise and per-fix altitudes carried through FRESH NAVIGATION DATA • Built-in database: 47,000+ airports, 72,000+ fixes, 1,800+ procedures • Updated every AIRAC cycle — refresh in the app with one tap FAST, PRIVATE, LOCAL • Your simulator PC appears in the app automatically — no IP addresses to find or type • Transfers over your own Wi-Fi — plans go from your iPad to your PC and nowhere else • No account, no subscription, no tracking, no data collection • Clear delivery confirmation for every transfer — and if your PC can't be reached, the app tells you within seconds and offers one-tap retry HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free receiver on your flight-sim PC: the PlanToSim X-Plane plugin or the PlanToSim MSFS Bridge (both linked from the app's Settings). 2. Open PlanToSim — your PC appears automatically. Then share a flight plan from ForeFlight (.fpl), Garmin Pilot, or FlyQ to PlanToSim. 3. Pick your destinations once in Settings — every send converts and delivers automatically. SIMAVIO NOTE (beta) SimAVIO loads its flight-plan store when it starts. Send your plan first, then start SimAVIO (or close and reopen its panel) — your plan is waiting when you sit down. One $4.99 purchase covers every simulator and every format — no add-ons, no subscriptions, no unlocks. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone or iPad with iOS 17.6 or later • A Windows flight-sim PC on the same local network • One free PlanToSim receiver on that PC: the X-Plane plugin or the MSFS Bridge (free downloads, linked in Settings) ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4 — 2026-07-27 PlanToSim 1.4 makes setup disappear — and brings full procedures to ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot files. • Zero-setup connection: your simulator PC now appears in the app automatically — no more typing IP addresses. Tap it once and you're connected. (Manual entry is still there if you want it.) • Rebuild Procedures: ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot files carry waypoints only — PlanToSim now matches them against its navigation database and restores your named SIDs, STARs, approaches, and airways for TDS GTN, X-Plane, and MSFS. Reality-XP and SimAVIO still receive your waypoints exactly as filed. • Garmin flight plan files: open .fpl and .gfp flight plans directly — from the Files app, email, or anywhere you keep them. • Resend Last Plan: one tap re-sends your most recent flight plan — after a settings change, a sim restart, or relaunching the app. • SimAVIO (beta): delivery confirmations now tell you whether to restart SimAVIO — or that your plan will load when it starts. • Clearer delivery feedback: if a send fails, the app now says exactly what went wrong for each destination — and when your PC is visible on the network, one tap sends to it. Requires the free PlanToSim receiver v1.1.0 (X-Plane plugin or MSFS Bridge) for automatic discovery — older receivers keep working with a manual IP address. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-16 change email ### 1.3.0 — 2026-01-28 Fixed missing airways for X-Plane FMS files. Fixed TDS Conversion logic. Added ability to update navigation data via download instead of needing to update the app every 28 day cycle. Added ability to have Fixed radial distances or convert to latlong coordinates. ### 1.1.1 — 2025-12-12 The description requirement for the X-plane plugin was missing. The plugin download site address. Updated navigation database. ### 1.0 — 2025-12-05 No release notes. ## More apps by Raul Heredia - [ClearToRetire](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cleartoretire/id6760211356) All apps by Raul Heredia: https://appshunter.io/developer/1822586656 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
